I'm Back! (some pics from my vacation)

Hey guys!

How are you? I apologize for the lack of posts for over a week but after coming back from my vacation I had to get back to work right away and became so busy. Anyways, I had an amazing time in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, I visited some great places, ate a lot of delicious food and met a lot of amazing people. 

The purpose of my trip is to visit several hotels to do site inspections and see what they have to offer for their guests. Here are some highlights from my trip

Look at these amazing views! 




Here are some delicious food





And here are some amazing people I met



I had an amazing time in Mexico and would love to come back again soon!

What's In My Travel Make Up Bag



Here are a few makeup products that I will be bringing along with me on my trip to Mexico. Have I already said how excited I am?

For the face
1) Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + Foundation - This is my go to foundation that never lets me down. Since I am expecting warm weather I need a foundation that will help my oily skin stay matte that would also last for long hours. Also, since this is water resistant, if I decide to dip in the water I can be assured that my makeup would not run off.

2) Benefit the POREfessional Pro Balm - Since our group will be touring from one hotel to another, this will help my foundation stay on longer. I love this face primer because it doesn't make my foundation feel heavy and doesn't clog my pores either.

3) CoverGirl Clean Pressed Powder for Sensitive Skin - Just a standard powder I use to set my foundation.

4) Benefit Boi-ing Concealer - I use the shade 02 for my under eye area and the shade 03 for my blemishes. 

5) E.L.F. Studio Blush in Candid Coral - I love this peachy coral shade blush that gives a subtle glow on my face

For the eyes
1) Mini Urban Decay Primer Potion - This is a great eyelid primer that really makes the eyeshadows last without creasing or fading. 

2) NYX 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Champagne and Caviar - I wanted to bring my Naked Palette with me but the length of it does not fit my make up bag so I'm bringing the NYX palette instead. I haven't had the chance to use this palette ever since I bought it so bringing it along the trip would be great for me to try this palette out.

3) Benefit Bad Gal Mascara - This is the first time that I'm going to try this mascara out so I'm really excited as I have read a lot of raves about it.

4) Wet n Wild Megalast Pencil Eyeliner in Blackest Black - A quick and easy way to line my upper lash, its great because it has a smudger at the end for my lower lash line.

5) Rimmel Kajal Eye Liner Pencil in Pure White - This is a fairly new product that I use to brighten my eyes on days that I lack sleep. This would be great in case I have a little too much fun on some festivities while I'm down in Mexico. lol

6) Revlon Eye Lash Curler - I love this curler because its cheap but gets the job done and doesn't pinch. 

For the lips
1) Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm - I've only been using this for a couple of weeks but I'm really liking it so far. I love that it gives a cooling effect on the lips and feels so moisturizing enough that I don't need to re-apply multiple times throughout the day

2) MAC Lipsticks in Vegas Volt, Girl About Town, and Russian Red - I know I don't need this much lipsticks but I couldn't decide which one to bring. I brought Russian Red to wear for the nightly festivities and I have a choice between Vegas Volt and Girl About Town for the daytime.

3) Benefit Coralista Lipgloss - I'm not much of a gloss girl but I will bring this along just in case I get in the mood for glossy lips.

4) Blistex Lip Medex - This used to be my lip balm of choice to wear throughout the day but ever since I bought the Burt's Bees lip balm I use this now as a overnight lip balm.

Bonus Items
1) Real Techniques Travel Essentials Brush Set - I love this set as it has my foundation, blush and eye brush included. I am also using the brush case it came with and bringing my EcoTools Retractable Powder brush and the 2 brushes from the Naked and Naked 2 Palettes.

2) Bath and Body Works Island Nectar Anti-bac - I always bring an anti-bac with me and this scent is appropriate for my upcoming trip!

So those are the things I am bringing with me, I feel that I'm bringing a lot even though I tried my best to pack lightly.

I'm Going On A Vacation (of sorts!)


You may or may not know that I work in the Tourism and Travel Industry and a great perk in being part of the industry is travel companies provide trips at discounted prices or sometimes for free. I feel lucky enough to go on an upcoming trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on gratis by the company I work for. I'm super excited because it will be my first time going to Mexico and have heard a lot of great things about the country! My upcoming trip will not be entirely devoted to lounging around the beach (sadly) but mostly going on tours around the different hotels and see what those hotels have to offer their guests and activities that guests can enjoy. Because I will be away for a few days, I don't think I will be able to put up some posts. Hopefully, I can take pictures that I can share with you guys when I come back :)

Have you been to Puerto Vallarta or anywhere else in Mexico? Do you have any suggestions on what I should check out there?

What's in my Makeup Bag


Hey guys!

I thought I might share with you some products that I always bring with me. I honestly don't know why I always carry this much when I only need to re-apply certain products, it's the make-up hoarder in me I guess. 

1. Lip Medex lip balm - I love that this gives a cooling effect to my dry lips

2. Bath and Body Works Anti - Bacterial Hand Lotion - I put this on after using the anti-bac gel

3. Eco Tools Retractable Brush - I love how soft this brush is!

4. MAC Lipstick - This changes everyday depending on my mood

5. Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso - This is my everyday blush for a natural luminous glow

6. E.L.F. Translucent Mattifying Powder - Powder that really helps my very oily skin stay matte

7. Bath and Body Works Anti - Bacterial Gel - For hygienic purposes

8. Wet n Wild Retractable Eyeliner - One of the items I bring with me that I don't need

9. Essence Mini Lipgloss - This came in a set of three, I use this on days I like shiny lips

10. Urban Decay De-Slick Mini - Trying this out if I like it, so far though I'm not impressed

11. Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer - Another product that I don't need to re-apply but I just bring 

12. Revlon Kissable Balm Stain- New lip product that I love!

13. Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea Body Mist - I don't wear perfumes because they're too strong for me, so a light body mist is perfect.

Here's a pic of the products inside my make up bag (in case you're curious)
